Explore a 30-minute conference talk on multi-phase gas in young, star-forming molecular clouds presented by Stefanie Walch-Gassner at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Delve into recent advances in observations, computer simulations, and analytical insights regarding the microphysics of fluid dynamics and instabilities in various astrophysical environments. Examine the challenges of understanding the origin, nature, and mixing of multiphase gas across different scales, from intergalactic media to galactic nuclei. Discover how thermal components, cosmic rays, and radiation shape the phase balance in astrophysical plasmas. Learn about the SILCC project, which investigates the multi-phase interstellar medium in star-forming galactic disks, and explore how stellar feedback processes influence ISM structure. Gain insights into the mass distribution of multi-phase ISM, the impact of supernova positions on ISM phase distribution, and the comparison between stellar winds and ionizing radiation for momentum input.
